The Beach Apartments, Jersey

Designed for Sea, Sky, and Tranquility

Set along the tranquil shoreline of Gorey on Jersey's east coast, The Beach Apartments is a contemporary residential development that re-imagines coastal living through minimalist designs and high-performance materials. The architecture draws inspiration from its maritime surroundings - embracing openness, resilience, and a seamless connection to the sea.

The design intent was clear: create homes that feel immersed in their environment while offering modern comfort and efficiency. Every element, from the building's orientation to its material palette, was chosen to maximise natural light, frame coastal views, and deliver a sense of calm sophistication.

Framing the Coastline with TECHNAL Building Systems

This collection of private apartments maximises its panoramic location with expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing. Specified for both aesthetic and technical performance, TECHNAL aluminium building systems frame uninterrupted views across the bay while complementing the crisp geometry of the building's design.

At ground level, large sliding doors open onto private gardens, creating fluid transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. Upper floors feature generous balconies that extend living areas and reinforce the connection to the coastal landscape. These glazed elements are not just functional - they are integral to the architectural language, creating transparency and openness that defines the development.

Aesthetic Clarity and Architectural Rhythm

The Beach Apartments are defined by their clean lines, muted palette, and low-rise form - echoing the tones and textures of the surrounding environment. TECHNAL's slimline aluminium profiles contribute to the building's visual lightness, supporting a refined architectural rhythm that balances transparency with structural integrity.

TECHNAL's aluminium building systems were chosen not only for their performance, but for their ability to enhance the building's understated elegance. The result is a development that feels rooted in its setting, yet distinctly modern in its expression. This approach demonstrates how thoughtful specification can elevate design intent, ensuring that technical solutions complement architectural vision.

Specialist Guidance for a Demanding Location

Located just metres from the shoreline, the project required expert specification to address the challenges of a maritime climate. In collaboration with the project team, TECHNAL provided specialist guidance on system selection, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability.

TECHNAL's aluminium windows, doors, and facades - engineered to withstand salt-laden air and fluctuating weather - were key to ensuring that the building envelope could perform over time. High-specification glazing supports thermal comfort and solar control, contributing to energy efficiency without compromising daylight or views. This technical expertise ensured compliance with modern building standards while delivering a solution tailored to the unique demands of coastal architecture.

Sustainability at the Core

As part of Hydro, TECHNAL champions circular design and low-carbon innovation. For projects like The Beach Apartments, sustainability is not an afterthought - it's embedded in every decision. Aluminium building systems manufactured using Hydro CIRCAL® 75R as standard, with a minimum of 75% recycled post-consumer scrap, help reduce embodied carbon while maintaining exceptional performance. This commitment supports architects and developers in meeting environmental targets without compromising design quality.

A Modern Interpretation of Seaside Living

This Jersey residence exemplifies how precision-engineered glazing systems can elevate residential architecture. Through thoughtful design, collaborative specification, and resilient materials, the project delivers a refined response to coastal living - designed for performance.
